The first few that fall behind get a lift on the bear.  Just as things start to seem desperate you see the Larch Path up ahead.  The promise of safety gives the escapees renewed vigor, but it proves to be a false hope - as you reach the road you realise it is not part of the road you've traveled before.You should have come to Larch Path close to Red Larch, but now you cannot be sure whether you are closer to Red Larch to the south or Beliard to the north.Red Larch, being the much bigger town, offers better safety and could better deal with the influx of escapees, but it is the more predictable destination.  Once there it will be a lot easier for individuals and groups to find travellers heading in the direction of their home.Beliard is much smaller.  It is primarily a cattle trading post, so while there would be a dearth of accommodation, would struggle to feed and equip the escapees to get back home unless there happens to be a moot.  It also offers easy access to the river to travel elsewhere by boat.The escapees can't reach a consensus as they are from different locations.  Some would be closer to home at Red Larch while others would prefer Beliard.</blockquote>
